The Cup at Doncaster is a race of so much interest not only to sporting men, but to the middling classes, that it rarely fails to attract a large company. It produced is accustomed effect this afternoon, the anxiety to witness the contest for it having been increased in no inconsiderable degree by the be lief that the favourite north country mare, Beeswing, would have a worthy competitor in the terror of the Curragh, Hark. away, and that an equally formidable rival would enter the lists in the person of the St. Leger winner, Don John. Part of this anticipated pleasure was realised, but for some (not very creditable we fear) reason, Harkaway, although in the best condition, was not suffered to show. Mr. Ferguson's conduct in the affair was discusSed in language, which, if it reached his ears, must have proved rather disagre?able. Fortunately for the sport the weather was favourable in the extreme, and some excellent racing made amends for previous deficiencies. The following is a full return : The Three Years Old Stakes, of 200 soya. each, h. ft. ; for colts, Bst. 61b ' • and fillies, Bst. 31b. St. Leger C o u rse . 11 S u b s .

Beeswing took the lead at. a capital pace, followed by Don John, The Doctor lying third, and Melbourne last. The pace and the positions continued the same till within half a distance.of the chair, when Don John took up the running, and won easy by nearly two lengths. The Doctor ran a moderate third, but Melbourne was beaten a long way from home. The race from beginning to end was run with great truth.

On Saturday, the 156, sailed the Horatio transport, for the Mediterranean, with detachments of the sth, 24th, and 60th on board. On Sunday, the 16th, arrived the Apollo troop-ship, with the 18th Royal Irish on board, from Dublin ; the Gipsy tender, from the river, with chronometers for the ships and vessels at Plymouth, which on being transhipped to the Gossamer were forwarded on the same evening in that vessel. On Monday, the 17th, the Apollo came into harbour, and dis embarked the 18th ; and the Hastings and Orestes came out of basin. On Wednesday, the 19th, the ActmJn came out of basin ; and to-day the Messenger steam transpo,l tried her engines, and the Gossamer returned from Plymouth. We have had a little doing here during the past week ; Magicienne, after having been inspected and unbent sails, re ceived unexpected orders to keep all fast : she has been corn pleted to three months provisions, and now awaits orders in harbour. The probability is that she, together with the Rover, Orestes, Pilot, and Modesto, will accompany the Hastings clear of the Channel, if not to Lisbon, and then gambol among themselves in the shape of experimental cruizing. The Actaeon, 28, has received orders to get ready for sea with all possible dispatch, and assistance is being rendered by the Britannia: she is reported ready for Tuesday next, and her destination is said to be Mexico. The Orestes will go out of harbour en the Ist of October. The Apollo will sail on Wednesday next for Cork, to embark the 94th, for Ceylon ; and the Hastings will commence fitting her cabins next week : the furniture, and in fact every thing is. very plain and simple, and is the same as used by the Earl of Durham. Her Ma-: jesty's arrival - Will not be before the 10th. THE SIJN, LONtION, SATVItnAV, SEPTEMBER 22, 1838. WEST INDIES. EMIGRATION TO JAMAICA. (From the Colonial it eeman.)

Of t h ese 2,100 W e re released in t he y ear 1837. The result gives one in eight of the entire slave population set free. If, in this proportion, the system of enfranchisement were continued to be followed out, without the intervention of any d legislative enactm ent to accelerat e the march of fee om e t h e ' en tire slave population of the French Colonies wou ld b e liberated in fifty-seven years. -Independent of these circumstances, there is a very material disproportion between the births and deaths, which would go to annihilate the slave population by natural means, if it were not that the lota is compensated by the surreptitious im• portation of slaves from the coast of Africa, p art i cu la rly into the island of Bourbon. I n 1835, the number of births of both sexes were 5,714, or I in 46, :while the number of deaths amounted to 7,337, o I iri 35 ; .consequently, the unrep a ir e d lota in twelv e mont h. , was 1,625, or 11,000 in seven years. These added to the 32,000 enfranchised slaves, makes within this number of years a dimi nution of 43,000 persons. The slave population by the annual censuses, however gives a different result, and instead of this progressive decrease, in the case of the Isle. of Bourbon at least, there appears a constant augmentation in the number of slaves. In 1834, the population of this colony, so conveniently situated on the cast a e n oa d st in Africal63of.___ traffic for . an illicit .in negroes, was 69,238, 0 , ultilou ,, h tit.: deaths exceeded the births - hy 1,2 1 0 . 7 ;2,323 slaves,, th ere fore, were introd u c e d i nto th at colony that one year. We have a right to suppose, that the French Government arc proceeding in the work of abolition in sincerity, when they take all these pains to arrive et the truth.

EXPLOSION OF STEA M -130 ILERS.—(From the -Edinburgh,•Courent.)—The deplorable frequency of acc:d:nts to steam- vessels, suggasts more than ever the necessity of ob taining some guarantee fur the safety of the numerous passen gers who now travel by this cheap aol expeditious conveyance.

But.ii o it he not safe—if th e y w h o embark on board those vesselsa jaunts of pleasure or of business, cannot be sure of their lives for a moment, of what moment arc the hoisted advantages of cheapness or speed, by which they are in a manner decoyed to their destruction ? Our last contained an account of another in stance of earelesaness in those who have the management these vessels, which might have b !en attended with the most fatal connsequeeces. ,We allude to the burning of the Tweedside steamer, in which were many passengers, wha would undoubtedly have lost their 1v s but for the humanity of Captain Allan, of the Royal Adelaide, Leith, whose vessel happened to pass at the time, and who rescued them from the burning wreck. Now, the loss of this vessel, in the name• manner as the Fwfarshire. was occasioned by carelessness, and by the miserable state of the machinery. The boiler, it appears, burst, after which the. vessel took fire. Such scan dalous naglienee is scarcely credible, were it not too fatally attested by fats, and it will tertaiLly tend to bring into merited diireolte all but the first class of steamers. There is no doubt that if the machinery of the Forfizrs',ire had been in good order, she would have reached her destined port in safe ty. Other vessels which sailed at the same time, the Inni.!fail and another steamer, arrived safely in Leith, having encoun tered the same storm.

At four o'clock the men came to their station at Westminster Bridge in the two boats built for the silver sculls' contest, Harrison having Wood's, and Morris, Mr. Colquhour's. The start was ver% good. They were scull and !cull for about three minutes, and Harrison then drew half a length ahead, keeping the first place through Vauxhall Bridge.

When the Dieppe Railroad may be completed Brighton traffic may almost be said to be intermediate; indeed it will be so to a great portion of travellers, and Paris be virtually conitituted the southern terminus. It must be asked if between London and Brighton there is located no closely packed manufacturir.g population (who by-the-bye enjoy .not the luxury of travelling over often, unless from the mill to their houses), on What other Rail way out of town is there within the same distance ? Coals in particular, for which the Croydon Railway C o mpany are providing wharfs near Caldblow's farm will be sent ex clusively by railway, about half way to Brighton, as also to supply the country for a considerable distance, right and left of them, and the same along the Dover branch. The other Southern portion will be similarly acconiodated from Shore ham. This will be night traffic. Other sources, common to other Railways, are here also found ; and it cannot be doubted, from the dmriptin of a great part of tho Brighton population, resident and temporary, that parcels will form no small item in the account. Travellers from Brighton, via Dover, for the Continent, it will readily be seen, will save much time and money by Riilvra3s, round by. Alsrstham, instead of by turnpike coach road, which after all would only reduce the distance from about 95 to 60 miles, the moiety of which is severely hilly.

A ;.'2yI'FIER AND MOTHER C,HAROBD WITH I'C!SONING THEIR DA LIGHTE/1. • (F, om the Stochport Advertiser.) In our last we alluded to a contemplated exhumation of the body of a female, aged 17, named Elizabeth Standring, which was to have taken place that day at the Ne w Burial Ground of the Parish Church, for the purpose o f undergoing post mortem examination, It appeared that the deceased was the eldest daughter of Robert a; - ?d Martha Sfindring, then living in the Bird-In ! hand Ei.try. ,:bout six weeks ago, On the Thuriday, the girl was seized wit:: a violent vomiting, which continued throughout the day, terminai.;ng with her death, in the course of the same afternoon. The in.`sabitants in the im mediate vicinity having 'learned the other day that the father of the girl had arsenic in the house, about the time of her death, became dissatisfied, and they expressed tht.‘r suspicions as to the real cause of the young woman's death. These ru mours appeared so rife and spread so quickly, that the father deemed it 'prudent, for some cause, to remove his family into Lancashire, Whither they arrived about three .weeks ago, still following his work as a batter. The effect of this was to increase the flame of suspicion in the neighbourhood, and at length some tangible report of the matter, in which the purchase of arsenic •by Standriog, formed a chief feature, having reached the cars cf the Constables un der the Court Lect, they waited upon Mr. Saddler, the Superintendent of Police, at his office, on Tuesday night week, and stated to him the rumours which had gained cur rency, founded on the statement of, a boy named Royle, who . had overheard a conversation bet Ween James Byrom, (at the .time of the oeetirrence in Standring's employ), and his ;po tter, imputing by inference an unfair participation on the part of the parents in 'the Premature death of their daughter Eliza beth.
